Eugene Regan (Fine Gael)

On a point of order, four motions are being referred to committee without debate. Perhaps the Leader will consider this. They concern EU legislation in the area of criminal law. On Thursday, the motion on terrorism is to return to the House, again to be taken without debate. We are often criticised for not scrutinising and debating EU legislation and it is suggested that it is introduced by stealth. It is, therefore, unsatisfactory procedurally that none of these issues is subject to debate in the House.
